Lot 189: A Collection of Six Hand-Painted Military Model Busts and Figures

A collection of six hand-painted military-themed model figures, comprising five busts and one full-length standing figure, each mounted on a polished wooden display base. The figures represent a diverse range of historical military subjects. The busts include a laughing soldier in a WWII-style khaki uniform wearing a slouch hat; a WWI-era German soldier wearing a Pickelhaube helmet; a WWII-era British paratrooper wearing a maroon beret; a Napoleonic-era officer in a blue tunic and bicorne hat; and a bearded naval officer in a peaked cap wearing an Iron Cross medal. The full-length figure depicts a 19th-century soldier, possibly French cavalry, in a blue and yellow dress uniform with a red-plumed helmet, holding a sword. The figures are likely constructed from painted resin or white metal, finished to a high professional hobbyist standard. One base features a plaque inscribed Red Devils 1943, and an adhesive label with the number 9703 is attached to the side.
